Heaven Lies About Us by Eugene Mccabe
In these twelve stories, Eugene McCabe plumbs the soul of the Irishborder counties, where confusion, divided loyalties, and conflict arepart of everyday life. A master of arresting dialogue and intimate characterisation, celebrated as a major playwright and author of one of the most important Irish novels of the last fifty years, McCabe demonstrates his outstanding gift for short fiction in this revelatory and haunting collection.
'there is the sublime sweep of McCabe's craggy cadences to sustain you, and he takes an ingenious delight in the mechanics of language'-- Alfred Hickling * Guardian *
Eugene McCabe was born in Glasgow in 1930. His novel Death and Nightingales,published in 1992, was described by Michael Ondaatje as 'a deeplymoving, powerful, and unforgettable book'; John Banville said that it'should put Eugene McCabe in the first rank of contemporary Irishnovelists', and Colm Toibin called it 'clearly one of the great Irishmasterpieces of the century'. Eugene McCabe lives in Co. Monaghan.
